Answer to Question 1

Both involve cross-dressing, but the transvestite does it for sexual pleasure. The
transvestite feels he is male and doesn't want to change genders. People with gender
identity disorder believe they are the opposite gender and cross-dress to feel more
appropriate. They typically wish to change genders.

Answer to Question 2

While all of the cluster A personality disorders are characterized by different features of
schizophrenia, schizotypal personality appears to be the most strongly related to
schizophrenia. This disorder is characterized by abnormalities in behavior that are often
seen in those with schizophrenia and there is evidence that those with schizotypal
personality disorder are at greater risk of developing schizophrenia.
